Newest Raider gratified that Davis was watching
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 at 2:02 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News, notes and observations Wednesday as the Raiders prepare to host the Miami Dolphins:
— Al Davis has a fondness for collecting players he liked coming out of the draft but were taken by someone else.
The latest is Jarvis Moss, the No. 17 overall pick out of Florida in 2007 who was waived by Denver a week ago after an unsatisfying three seasons.
As things were going badly for Moss in Denver, Davis was remained curious enough to mine Louis Murphy for information.
“He told me the owner had asked about me several times,’’ Moss said. “It was all positive stuff so from my point of view that’s good to know I’m wanted. Now I want to give, knowing that I was actually wanted and they gave me an opportunity.
“That just gives me more incentive to go to work and bust my tail wearing black.’’
Upon his arrival, Moss said he had a “quick, cool conversation’’ with Davis where he said he planned on giving it his all.
Moss, who will be used as a defensive end, said he thought he was just getting the hang of being a 3-4 outside linebacker when he got word he was being waived.
“I was actually getting used to it. It wasn’t a hard transition,’’ Moss told reporters following the Raiders morning walkthrough. “(Josh) McDaniels told me he didn’t want me to just be a special teams guy there, I had done everything they asked of me, and we weren’t parting ways on bad terms. He just gave me the opportunity to go start over and I’m happy about that.’’
Moss, an angular 6-foot-7 and 258 pounds, had only 3.5 sacks with the Broncos and is hoping Oakland’s emphasis on rushing the passer will pay off in better numbers.
“The D-line here has more sacks than the whole Bronco defense right now, so it could be a schematic thing,’’ Moss said.
— Defensive tackle Richard Seymour limited his comments about his $25,000 fine and open-handed blow to the face of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a statement issued by the team.
Seymour actually got the statement to the Raiders Monday, but the club never made it public until Wednesday.
Rather than put it on their Web site, or on the normal Raider letterhead and distribute it to the media, the Raiders instead had the statement typed out on what looked as if it was a manual typewriter on a blank sheet of paper and then gave it to a single member of the media with the request to pass it around.
The statement read:
“I apologize to my teammates, fans and coach for my actions in yesterday’s game. This is an emotional game that sometimes triggers frustrated reactions when you are out on the field. I reacted in a way that was unprofessional to the game and not in line with the respect that goes along with wearing the NFL shield and for that I apologize.’’
Correction: A Raiders spokesman said Seymour’s statement was put out through his own P.R. firm and not through the club. Near as anyone can tell, no one in the local media received the statement until it showed up in Alameda Wednesday.
While some players have looked at the three-game win streak as an example of what can be accomplished and as a way to put the Steelers loss aside, Seymour is of the “one game at a time’’ ilk.
“I don’t look at it as it was three in a row, we won one individual game and strung it together to another one,’’ Seymour said. “In my mind, one game is really not connected to the next. Every game is its own individual game.
“Different matchups, you see it all the time, you beat me and then I turn around and beat someone who beat you, however it works out.’’
— Punter Shane Lechler was part amused and part disgusted that game announcers Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts made such a big deal of his habit of using ammonia capsules before every punt.
“It’s nothing I haven’t been doing for the last seven years, something a lot of players in this league do before every series. There must not have been anything else to talk about.’’
— Davone Bess, the Miami wide receiver and former Skyline High School product, grew up on 77th and Rudsdale within sight distance of the Coliseum. He was a fan of the Raiders, A’s and Warriors.
Bess paid very close attention to one Raiders receiver in particular, and in some ways modeled his game after him.
“Tim Brown, man, that was my guy,’’ Bess told Bay Area reporters by conference call.
Since 2008, Bess has 179 receptions, the most in franchise history for a receiver in his first three seasons.
Signed by Miami as an undrafted free agent after a productive career in the run-and-shoot offense at Hawaii, Bess never got a sniff from the Raiders.
“Me and my agent talked about it but they never reached out,’’ Bess said.
Bess said he bought between 55 and 60 tickets and expects even more people to turn out on his behalf.
Although he never had the speed Brown had coming out of Notre Dame, his game has similar elements to Brown as a veteran player.
“One of the things with (Brown) is he was so quarterback friendly. The guy was a very, very smart player and always in the quarterback’s face as far as visibility out there in routes, uncovering, doing some of the things that I always talk to my guys about, moving without the ball. Kind of like basketball,’’ Miami coach Tony Sparano said. “With Davone, he’s kind of done that at a young stage. He really does a god job of working with the quarterback, quarterback friendly is what we call it.’’
— Miami has a lot of key players who have been hurt, but Sparano was keeping it close to the vest as to who would be available.
The list includes quarterback Chad Henne (knee), offensive left tackle Jake Long (shoulder) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall (hamstring). Henne has been getting some work in practice.
If Henne can’t play, Tyler Thigpen would start for Miami.
Interesting note on Thigpen _ he’s 1-11 as a starter with the lone win coming on Nov. 30 against the Raiders.
Put another way, he’s 1-0 in games where the opponent tries a trick play in which the punter laterals the ball through his legs to a 250-pound place kicker, expecting him to turn the corner for a first down, resulting in a fumble return for the defense.
– Speaking of fumbles, one of the Raiders’ first drills Wednesday during the coldest practice of the year was practicing scooping up fumbles.
Whether it’s the drill or just plain luck, recovering their own fumbles continues to be a Raiders’ strength. Oakland has the most fumbles in the NFL with 25 but has lost only five of them.

Tom/Hue/John need to look at that Steeler game as an example of vanilla schemes being overcome by superior ones.
We have the talent, even if a few areas are lacking. Please plan these games to the players’ strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Do the opposite to the other team. This is coaching 101.

It can’t be that bad. As general manager it’s his job to find players. And besides he’s a good pickup. He wants to prove something kinda like Wimbley. I wouldn’t worry, he might turn out into a good depth guy.

He wanted to do an over head press conference, but the paper was to thick. Then Herrera “lost” it for awhile.
Funny how an owner keeps his eye on guys that they coveted out of collage, but never had the chance to draft. Then get the opportunity to picks them up on the cheap. A sweet way to test their talent evaluating skills.
Oh what fun it would be to be an NFL team owner.

Not sleazy, it’s just that the light bulb on the projector went out, so Al had it typed out on his 1955 antique typewriter. (Still in his office and in daily use.)

Moss equals his career sack total in the next six games under the keen tutelage of Dick Seymour and Mike Waffles.
November 24th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I am happy with Wimbleys play to this point. His edge contain is pretty decent. Yea he got trucked looking inside on at least one play last Sunday, I do not remember any others.
He needs to play lights out edge contain, and wrack up a few more sacks the rest of this year.
He is no pro-bowler this year, but I like the guys play for his 1st year in this system.

South Korea was written on her right hand and North Korea was on her left. It was a simple mistake that anyone who didn’t have a clue what they were talking about could make.

Man J.Moss has had some bad luck so far…\
Another classic Davis salvage project. Makes sense budgetarily and who knows? Could turn out to be a wise move.
Or the next Williaqm Joseph. Long as he can provide some depth and rotation. Anything else is bonus.

Well, either the QB-who-will-not-be-named thinks that Oakland is no longer an option or there are actually 31 teams in the NFL.

I’m a little concerned about all this talk, even in the media about this being a game we’re supposed to win. Miami will be hungry and looking to get the run game going again.

Miami has Brown, Williams, Bess, Hartline, Fasano and Carey on offense … even if Henne, Long & Marshall can’t go
they should NOT be overlooked, because they love them some wildcat and Ronnie Brown can throw the football on a trick play. also look for a few reverses or maybe even a fake FG
November 24th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
38. I think our defense hand cuffed itself a little against Big Ben. They didn’t really get after him for fear he’d rip them aprat on scrambles. Guess what? He got the job done anyway.
The Raiders did a poor to non existent job of rolling with the punches and changing schemes up against Pitt.
Adapt or perish in combat and we didn’t adapt.
Should’ve sent the f’ing farm, stunts, twists all manner of blitzes against the SCRUBS occupying the Steelers O line.

I agree 100%, 21.
Still don’t understand the coaching or lack thereof.
Why is it that they can’t make any in-game or halftime adjustments.
Only thing resembling that was sending the house at Rivers.

46. The Wild Cat can be countered by simple, gap responsible defense.
Uh-oh…
Actually we’ve been much better of late in that regard.
Getting Hendu back should help too.
Playing Travis Goethel before Scott was even injured was a stupid move and it cost us against Pitts talented TEs.
Know we’re going to see more of this guy even if it hurts us.
I think last week the tables turned on Oakland when they ran the ball in for a TD with Ricky Brown in for McClain and Goethel in for who ever.
Again, stupid substitutions on the goal line hurt.
This has happened for years now.
F the rotation and THINK sometimes would ya Raiders?

Cable may not admit it but Grads looked much better than Campbell. Got rid of the ball, threw with amazing touch and lobbed to gaps in the D.
He really makes our receivers and backs look better than they are.
Campbell’s a good QB with no pressure.
Grads is the opposite.

KK,
I think Al inserts himself more into marquee matchups. Home opener v. SD and Dallas game last year, Pittsburgh game this year.
Let’s the coaches coach a bit more in more under-the-radar matches.
Just my opinion, but I agree with you. The most success we’ve had this year is unconventional.
I think we played very well in games where we were creative on offense.

Totally agree. There was a lot of glory at stake in that Pitt Game.
Also, during the winning streak, he inserted himself in the QB controversy, leaked by one of his confidants (allegedly). And got himself into the National Press with premature accolades about his return to greatness. lol.

Al had to be troubled by the pistol and wildcat stuff.
Campbell chucks one to Ford on a deep post and suddenly AD football is succesful again.
The sad thing is, SD runs a Gillman offense and run it well. It’s possible to win the Al Davis way, or at least Al Davis style, but you have to let the coaches coach.

November 24th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Chaz Schilins, the Greg Oden of the Raiders. Good thing he wasn’t a 1st round pick.

We could have drafted Davone Bess in Round 7 of the 2008 Draft instead of Chaz Schilens … and we was a local kid & Raiders fan!
———————————
He doesn’t have “Raiders Speed” Don’t matter if he’s smart, can run routes or catch the ball!

So how many games will it take, till BHP says; “I always said we should have drafted Jarvis Moss” or “I knew he would be a badazz player”… LOL

Dan fouts is a giant D1K. He must get angry that the Raiders have 3 rings and he has none. Lots of yards passing and nothing to show for it. Rivers is the next Fouts, Throws for yards in the season and CHOKES in the post-season . Screw you SD super CHOKERS! Raiders baby!

What a big surprise , No Chaz , I expect Jesus back before Schilens.

Well, KoolKell is right. If Vince Young is released by the Titans…he’s a Raider….
That’s a LOCK

From Wiki:
Jarvis Moss, 4.7 40 time for someone 6′6 1/2″ 250lbs. Al Davis must have been sh*tten. Raider Speed!
During high school he acquired a staph infection which was not found and treated until midway through his collegiate career.

what up Thec07 ?
Yeah I hate when he does any game on CBS. Any news on the health of CHarles Shallens ? lol
November 24th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
I think this Moss will have a better impact than the last Moss on the Raiders…
November 24th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Da Bruce is a more firey leader who has better pocket awareness and gets rid of the ball faster, along with getting out of trouble faster. He also has better improvisational skills and he scans the field better IMO. He also makes quicker decisions than JC.
Basically the QB situation will be the X factor on whether not this team makes the playoffs or not.

I agree, and ontop of that…he finds Zmiller, whis is very importat to my FFL team =)

I can see the graphic on Al Davis Football Inc.’s overhead projector:
Vincent Young = Jamarcurelius Russell
No way Al falls again.
November 24th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Dknight,
The X-Factor is Darren McFadden. PERIOD!
The Raiders have no passing game
November 24th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Macho Man Randy Savage,
Al Davis wanted to draft Vince Young the 1st time. If VY is on the free agent listing…as toxic as he is…as bad a decision that would be…
Al Davis just LOVES athletic former 1st round picks.
He’ll be a Raider….hate to say it
November 24th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
LMN look you little sissy I don’t make mention of you so keep my name out your mouth.

DMC is the stud of the offense of course….but this ridiculous QB thing is going to make or break the team when it comes to making the playoffs.
If JC plays lifeless again in the 1st half….Cable and Hue better go with Grads pronto!

Make it this Sunday. Our QB’s suck! Period. They are backups at best and we are counting on them to get us to the playoffs? When are people gonna wake up.
With JC at the helm we are toast. How can anyone think any different after watching the Pittsburgh game?
He should be playing basketball instead of football. He throws a tremendous bounce pass, although he’s a bit tall for point guard and too slow to play forward.

46. The Wild Cat can be countered by simple, gap responsible defense.
Uh-oh…
Uh-oh is right Our LBs haven’t been better. Our D-Line has been steller!
The LB’s have constantly filled the wrong gap, over-pursued the play
Thank god our safetys can tackle.
The only things our LB’s have hit (or been hit by) are fullbacks and pulling guards.

I hope this week Jacoby Ford has another big game. I haven’t seen a reciever make a quarterback look so good in my life, as he did for JsuckC. He reminded me of Steve Smith against KC. I think with a descent game from Mcfadden and Jacoby big in special teams, recieving, we can win this weekend.
